I am beginning planning for the 2025-26 school year for FCCS Destination Imagination. Last year, our competitive teams represented not just FCCS, but the whole of Frederick County Public Schools at States and one went on to represent the state of Maryland, placing 7th in Global Finals in Kansas City! It was a memorable year, and this year should also be fantastic.
DI has a video featuring DI parents and how they feel about the program; if you're new to DI, I highly recommend you check it out https://www.destinationimagination.org/blog/why-parents-choose-destination-imagination/ |
